Only online ban? Nowadays most physical games are glorified DRM dongles that require a full download from online servers.
Banned from online means when you buy the $80 games all they can do is showing a cute icon on the launcher
And even if the full game is present on the cart, only a handful is ready at launch and not just a buggy alpha without the day one update
If you’re already doing piracy with a flashcart, do you even care about that? You’ll get your games elsewhere.
The problem is that updates are not automatically inserted in the flashcart. All the flashcart does is clone the original one as it was put on sale. Updates are always downloaded by the console and are not stored on the cart.
Let’s make a real world example: you go in a store and buy the cart for “disney dreamlight valley” for $40. You actually don’t know, but inside the cart there’s only a 34,6 MB file that only contains a splashscreen and a popup that says “connect to internet to download the update”. It then connects to Nintendo servers to download the 4.61 GB “update” that is the actual game. If you are blocked from Nintendo servers how can you get the update? Your console itself isn’t hacked, so you can’t just download it from random online sources with a different signature. You can dismiss the popup but then you can only admire your new $40 wallpaper.
This is the “gameplay” of said $40 game if you don’t have the possibility of installing updates:
Well then I guess you probably shouldn’t use the flashcart.
yes exactly, fuck those users who paid $450 for a console and $80 for games, they can learn their lesson and buy a new $450 console
Are you buying your games or are you using the flashcart? Which is it?
it can be both. My hardware, my games and once i pay i should be able to do whatever the fuck i want with them
You can do what you want offline. But as I said above, if you take it online, you’re an idiot.
When the machine it’s designed to work exclusively online, tell me how to keep it offline. To enjoy the nice premium wallpapers?
It’s not like the x360 era where online access was completely optional
